Dasher Pay
What you make as a Dasher depends on where, how much, and what time of day you choose to deliver. Here is an overview of how Dasher pay is calculated, along with tools to help you track and increase your Dasher earnings, so you can meet your goals.
How much can I earn?
Base Pay
You’ll always earn Base Pay for any delivery. Base Pay is calculated based on the estimated time, distance, and desirability of the order.
Plus Promotions
Promotions like Peak Pay and Challenges help you earn more per delivery when it’s busy. Challenges let you earn extra money for completing a certain number of deliveries in a set amount of time.
Plus Tips
Customers using DoorDash can tip you anytime you choose to accept a delivery — and most deliveries include a tip. You’ll always receive 100% of the customer tips received by DoorDash.
Track your Earnings
The Dasher app shows earning opportunities near you and tracks what you make.
Open the app and tap "Earnings" to see what you make on a particular day, to cash out your earnings with Fast Pay, or to view your Earnings History.
